Introduction

1.1 Summarization

Thank you for choosing our digital video capture cards.

1Channel, 4 Channel, 8 Channel and 16 Channel cards adopt MPEG4 compression format, and enable maximum 16 channels real-time or none real-time surveillance. Our cards are mature and cost-effective products that should be your ideal choices. They enable synchronous audio and video compression and transmission, with their powerful compression rate and network transmission function. They are widely used in banks, intelligent communities, traffic management units, medical systems, educational systems, armed forces and so on.

This manual is suitable for SuperDVR 4.3, which supports TD3004, TD3008,

TD3016, TD3116, TD3216, TD3316, TD4104, TD3101, and TD3104 cards.

In this manual, you will learn how to install the hardware and driver (software), and how to setup the systems of this range of products. Please make sure your operations with the products are strictly in accordance with the manual, so as to keep the stability of the digital surveillance systems.

The following are standard functions of the products:

Schedule record mode

Users can choose any term in a day to record and set up record modes, i.e. sensor alarm record, motion detection record, manual record,

Schedule Record.

Motion detection mode

Motion detection areas are adjustable and maximum 16 areas for each channel. Users can also set motion detection sensitivity for each channel.

The system begins to record only when motion of the detected object happens, and it will stop recording after a certain period, this function is adjustable by users.

Sensor alarm record mode

User Manual

With extra alarm board, the system enables alarm input and output.

Recycling record mode

Users can set recording storage sequence for HDD partitions. The recording storage will automatically swap to the next partition when it is full. If all the partitions are full and recycling record mode is enabled, the former recorded data will be covered by new data. Users can also set

HDD minimum storage alarm. Then once the present storage space is less then the minimum storage and recycling record mode is not enabled, the record will automatically stop.

P.T.Z control function

Support a number of decoders. Users can control multiple speed domes and integrative cameras, including pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris adjustment for P.T.Z devices. Support preset point and auto scout.

Users management

Different users have different rights, user names and passwords, so as to ensure system security.

Multi-channel display

Support different multi-channel display modes, full screen display and auto dwell display.

Watch dog function

The 16 Channels card has watchdog function. In case SuperDVR driver or windows system is frozen, the watchdog will restart the computer and login SuperDVR system again automatically.

One PC support 1 to 4 cards of the same model, the maximum frame rate can be 200 fps and 16 channels at most.

If recorded disk partition

’s format is FAT32 and the system has run for a long time, the system will create a lot of data fragments that may results in system runs slowly. It

’s recommended to make disk defragmenter every 10 to 30 days.

We strongly suggest that use NTFS format for record disk partition.
